Preparation

Tips for energy saving

The following information will help you to use your hob in an ecological way, and to save energy:

Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them. Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy. Pots with a thick base will provide a better heat conduction. You can obtain energy savings up to 1/3.

Pots must be compatible with the cooking zones. Bottom of the pots must not be smaller than the hotplate. Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot zone. Keep the cooking zones and bottom of the pots clean. Dirt will decrease the heat conduction between the cooking zone and bottom of the pot.

Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and waste energy.

Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.

Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy cooking period. The hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the cooking process.

A pot with rough edges could scratch the appliance surface if it were dragged across the surface of the appliance.

Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowed to cool on the surface it could pit and damage the surface.

Do not cover the appliance surface with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots. These will leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the surface of the hob.

Initial use

First cleaning of the appliance

1. Remove all packaging materials. 2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a

Once cooking has finished, the user interface indicates if there is remaining heat in the corresponding heater. Remaining heat will be indicated only when the heater temperature goes beyond 65ºC (149ºF). To ensure that a heater reaches a temperature greater than this, it is necessary that the heater is working for more than 7 seconds in a power level greater than zero. As radiant heaters temperatures are not read directly, it is necessary to estimate the time that the heater will be hot after cooking. During this time, shown in table 1, letter ‘H’ will be show alternatively with ‘0’, indicating hot remaining.

Residual Heat

Radiant Heaters Residual Heat

Automatic actions

Protection from accidental activation of keys

If any key/s is continually pressed for more than 10 seconds, the cooktop is switched off automatically. A warning beep sounds every 10 sec., while the key/s is/are activated.

Heater auto switch off in a specific time

After the maximum time of operation at the same power level, the heater is switched off automatically. The heater auto switch off time is automatically reset when the power level is changed.

Thermal protection of the control.

When the control user interface detects an ambient temperature above 96°C(+-5%), it switches off the cooktop. Any heater switched off by the thermal protection can only be reactivated when the temperature falls below 89°C(+-5%). When the heater power control detects an unusually high operating temperature for its devices, it switches off all the heaters until the temperature reaches normal operating values, thereafter continuing with their previous power level values.

The Stop and Go function allows temporary pausing of the cooking process, allowing the user to answer the door or the telephone without having to be concerned about contents of pots boiling over. This function is also useful to clean the user interface surface without changing the cooking set up. If the [STOP_GO_KEY] is pressed for more than 120 milliseconds:

The [STOP_GO_LED] flashes, a [STOP&GO_SOUND] sounds and the cooktop is stopped, the heaters actual power setting is stored and all the active heaters power is set to power level 0, the heaters auto switch off time is stopped, all timers running count downs are stopped, all keys are locked except [STOP_GO_KEY] and [ON_OFF_KEY], timer displays nothing, and all the heaters displays are switched on and display “0”.

Errors/Alarms

Appliance errors

Appliance errors are the errors which generate the deactivation of the whole cooktop. When an appliance error is detected, all heaters are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or more heaters are active) and all displays show an ‘F’ letter and the error code alternately. While in error status all the heater keys are not operative. Except for EEPROM and microcontroller errors, all errors are recoverable. That is, when the cause of the error disappears all displays are deactivated and the cooktop returns to normal operation.

Page 26

PROBLEM The plates do not work Remember that you may be charged for a service call even during the warranty period if the fault is due to or caused by the above.

Problem check Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem:

SOLUTION Check there is power to the wall switch.

Heater control errors

Heater control errors are the errors which generate the switch off of one or more heaters. When a heater error is detected, the involved heaters are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or more heaters are active) and the displays corresponding to these heaters show an ‘F’ letter and the error code alternately. While in error status the keys of the corresponding heaters are not operative. All errors are recoverable.

WARNING: In the unlikely event of the Ceran sustaining accidental damage or cracks, switch off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced before further use. Caring for the Ceran hob

Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and long lasting cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned regularly.

Wipe spillage off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the hob is still warm.

Clean the hob with a nylon pad and a suitable smooth top cleaning solution, which is available from all Beko Service Centres. Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) by applying a small amount of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice. Other suitable commercially available products can also be used.

If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.

Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran.

Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains bright and attractive.

Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.

DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.

Maintenance and care 6
